How do you control the spacing of the swatch in a illustrator pattern?

create a box with no stroke and fill behind in order to space out the pattern..... if i understand what you're asking

Have you tried Grouping the empty box and the element to be spaced, before making it a swatch? Should work.

make sure it's all on the same layer... send the box to the back... drag to swatches..

ok it works thanks QBN!

Huh, i've just noticed that swatch output depends on the layer ordering - if you have the empty spacer block underneath it acts like a crop? Hmmm... why've I never noticed that before?

wha?
- I was writing that post just as you were - I must always have done it the 'right' way without realising :)Nairn
